Juliette

“Two or Three Things…” may have taken over the top spot as my favorite film we’ve viewed. I really enjoyed that this piece was different from other pieces we’ve seen, but it was able to keep my attention. Godard found a way to stand out from other filmmakers without putting me to sleep. Juliette was an intriguing character that I really wanted to understand. Honestly, how could a married prostitute not be interesting? The fact that she has many different levels is what really caught my eye. She loves her husband, does the best she can with her children and tries to bring in money for her family by selling sexual favors. Yet while all this is going on, she manages to expose another side of herself to the audience that is almost philosophical in nature. Whether she is in a high end clothing store or sitting in bed with her husband, viewers are shown her thoughts. The audience can detect that she is obviously quite an intellectual person because her quandaries are unanswerable. “What if we said that blue was actually green?” There is no correct answer to this question because it is just another one of life’s “what ifs.”
